much.\u00a0 And thank you, Alan.\u00a0 Good morning, and good afternoon for some of you. \u00a0Thanks for joining us here today.\u00a0 You should have all received our press release this morning.\u00a0 There are a few photos attached to that.\u00a0 But before we get started, just a few reminders.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s press release and all comments made during today\u2019s call are under embargo until after FOX\u2019s upfront, after the presentation at five p.m. Eastern today.\u00a0 So, please hold on all posts [background noise] until then, with the exception, of course, of live tweeting during the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Following the presentation, all program descriptions and photos will be available on our press site, which, as you know, is FOXflash.com.\u00a0 Available trailers from our new series were sent to each of you to post immediately following our presentation today.<\/p>\n<p>Joining us today to talk about the 2021 and \u201922 season are Charlie Collier, CEO, FOX Entertainment; Marianne Gambelli, President of Advertising Sales, FOX; Michael Thorn, President, FOX Entertainment; Rob Wade, President, Alternative and Specials, FOX Entertainment.\u00a0 We also have Farhad Massoudi, CEO and Founder of Tubi, and Dan Harrison, EVP of Program Planning and Content Strategy, FOX Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>With that, I\u2019m going to hand it over to Charlie, who, prior to opening up to Q&amp;A, he\u2019ll walk through our FOX Entertainment strategy and fall schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks, Jean, and good morning, everyone.\u00a0 I\u2019ll go off the record to start.\u00a0 I know you\u2019re really busy, and we\u2019re not going to just [indiscernible] up front with this, but off the record, we bought Discovery this morning, and we\u2019re going to announce it after the upfront.<\/p>\n<p>So, now back on the record, before I begin, I hope everyone\u2019s doing really well.\u00a0 It\u2019s been, not even trite to say, an unbelievable year, and I\u2019m really happy to be speaking with all of you in person again.\u00a0 And I hope we\u2019re in person sometime soon, in the truest sense of the word, back at the beacon.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to believe it was more than a year ago when the world was shut down back in March of 2020.\u00a0 FOX immediately went to work to produce TV\u2019s first living room concert hosted by Sir Elton John.\u00a0 And if you remember, it was Sir Elton John from his kitchen.\u00a0 It featured Billy Eilish and Backstreet Boys, Demi Lovato and more.\u00a0 And for us, that was a truly moving and confidence-inspiring moment, at a time when I think a lot of people really needed it.<\/p>\n<p>And then over the summer and under the strictest of protocols, Rob\u2019s team really just dove in and they produced a new series, I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE, as well as a new season of THE MASKED SINGER.\u00a0 And all this is to say that when the pandemic hit last year, we pivoted quickly, and under extraordinary conditions we kept building.\u00a0 Our FOX structure, as a nimble and more agile entertainment company, really enabled us to adapt and innovate under the circumstances.\u00a0 The pandemic, in many ways, gave us the chance to build on our strategic strengths, fortifying our operations, and creating new business models.<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, throughout our development process this season, we were able to pivot to work with creators in ways we hadn\u2019t before, capitalizing on the extra time during the lockdown.\u00a0 We opened things like virtual writer\u2019s rooms to refine, polish, and shape multiple scripted series in numerous ways across numerous projects, and we did so with care and attention, and some terrific rooms that probably wouldn\u2019t have been the case, if not for the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we were broadening our broadcast model with the acquisition of our AVoD streaming service, Tubi.\u00a0 As you heard from Jean, Farhad\u2019s on the call.\u00a0 That was back in April.\u00a0 And like FOX, we\u2019re so pleased to say Tubi is free.\u00a0 There are no paywalls, no subscriptions, and it\u2019s an example of our commitment to, especially in the upfront context, commitment to our advertising partners.<\/p>\n<p>And so, as FOX focuses on going broad in its programming, Tubi goes deep, and we announced, I think you heard, 140-plus hours of original programming next season to speak to viewers\u2019 passions.\u00a0 I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t also mention Bento Box, which is our animation company.\u00a0 They\u2019ve also thrived growing our wholly-owned businesses for FOX, but also well beyond FOX, and they\u2019re launching new businesses, like the NFT and Blockchain companies we\u2019ll be announcing today.<\/p>\n<p>In a much more traditional sense, FOX is on track to win the season again.\u00a0 We have the number one new entertainment series, the number one new comedy, the number one new unscripted show, actually the number one entertainment series overall in THE MASKED SINGER.\u00a0 We got there with a strategy that I really laid out two years ago at the Beacon Theatre, which was about putting the biggest night of American sports next to the best of entertainment night after night.<\/p>\n<p>Another part of that strategy was taking our strongest shows and building new programming off the strength of those existing shows.\u00a0 And no surprise, we\u2019re deploying that strategy once again using the 9-1-1 franchise, both 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 LONE STAR; but, of course, THE MASKED SINGER, THE RESIDENT, and some of our biggest sporting events to help launch new dramas.\u00a0 You\u2019ve probably heard or read about most of them, but including THE BIG LEAP, OUR KIND OF PEOPLE, MONARCH, THE CLEANING LADY, and new comedies, PIVOTING, KRAPOPOLIS, and WELCOME TO FLATCH.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12979 alignleft\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also new unscripted series, ALTER EGO and NEXT LEVEL CHEF, among quite a few others.<\/p>\n<p>So, look, we believe in entertainment that reflects the culture.\u00a0 For example, our new shows have themes that speak to hope and second chances and reinvention.\u00a0 We believe people want to watch shows that give voice and value to those who have often been left out or gone unheard.\u00a0 And FOX is known for putting shows on like that that you wouldn\u2019t find anywhere else, and the lineup we\u2019re announcing today continues to build upon that legacy.<\/p>\n<p>At its best, broadcast can connect millions of people across the country doing the same thing at the same time, all tuned in to programming that pierces popular culture and brings us closer together.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Thorn is to my right, FOX\u2019s Head of Scripted Entertainment, and Rob Wade, fresh off his second vaccination shot, is FOX\u2019s President of Alternative Programming.\u00a0 They\u2019re both here with us, and they can certainly talk about those themes and expand upon them.\u00a0 I will take the opportunity to say they\u2019ve done just an amazing job to take advantage of the unusual time that\u2019s been presented to us, working largely virtually with our creators to refine and plan for the future of these shows, and so many more you\u2019re about to hear about.<\/p>\n<p>Jean mentioned that also with us is my partner in crime and FOX EVP of Program Planning and Content Strategy, Dan Harrison.\u00a0 So, if you have any schedule questions or other, please fire away.\u00a0 And Farhad Massoudi, as I said, our CEO and Founder, and just a great fast friend and partner from Tubi is here as well; as is the most important person in New York, Marianne Gambelli, who obviously runs all of our ad sales efforts.<\/p>\n<p>So, look, we\u2019re looking forward to great and continued success next season, as we build what we call the FOX Entertainment of the Future.\u00a0 We\u2019re working with some of the industry\u2019s top talent and creators.\u00a0 That\u2019s what drives us.\u00a0 And we\u2019re continuing to build the company on a platform, a content-focused, and an audience-first basis.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, please, why don\u2019t we open the call for questions.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [Operator instructions].\u00a0 We\u2019ll first go to the line of Rick Porter with <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.\u00a0 Go ahead, please.<\/p>\n<p>Rick\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Good afternoon, everybody.\u00a0 You guys ordered a lot more new series than you did at this point last year, which I know, in part, was due to the pandemic and everything.\u00a0 I\u2019m curious also, though, if you\u2019re sort of building up the library in anticipation of not having football in a year\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ll start, and then, Michael, I don\u2019t know if you want to join.\u00a0 This is Charlie, Rick.\u00a0 Good to hear from you.\u00a0 Thanks for the question.\u00a0 We very much were focused on developing year-round, and doing some of the things I just mentioned in my opening remarks, which is really trying to build on the legacy of some of our stronger franchises, and then build complementary, both scripted and unscripted, on top of that.<\/p>\n<p>But, no, of course we knew that Thursday Night Football would not be returning before we announced it, but we\u2019ve been very much focused on this year, and then doing our traditional development for next year.\u00a0 And as we\u2019ve been focused on that Thursday night specifically, which you asked about in the second part of your question, there\u2019s nothing to announce today, but we\u2019ve very much been working on trying to bring urgency and spectacle to a night like that, just knowing in advance that we have so much time to plan.<img decoding=\"async\"

all-year-round development strategy, I know you\u2019ve heard us talk about this, but we don\u2019t believe there\u2019s a one-size-fits-all process for development.\u00a0 So, just to give a recent pickup example, our new series ACCUSED is for \u201922-\u201923, and the best way we believe\u2014when I say we, I mean FOX and Sony and Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa\u2014believe to set that show up for success is to really get ahead of it in the scripts, and really take our time to kind of cast this unique crime anthology series.<\/p>\n<p>And so, we\u2019re getting ahead of it for the next season, and we believe this kind of all-year-round strategy allows us to continue to be in business with people like Howard and Alex, or Lee Daniels and some of the other people that we\u2019ve just announced pickups with.\u00a0 It leads into our nimbleness, we believe.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Technical difficulties caused a

everyone.\u00a0 Thanks for taking my question.\u00a0 I appreciate it.\u00a0 I really just wanted to ask, given how the world\u2019s changing, what percentage of your viewing do you think [indiscernible] Tubi of your new programming this year?\u00a0 And maybe even from Marianne, what percentage of ad sales will you be aiming at Tubi, do you expect to have from Tubi this year?<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks so much for the question.\u00a0 We are really focused on\u2014and especially today with announcing the FOX schedule, and for anything that\u2019s FOX owned, you will see it appear on Tubi the way you do THE MASKED SINGER and Gordon Ramsay shows, and that sort of stuff.\u00a0 On the other hand, the original programming for Tubi, the 140-plus hours we talked about, obviously, that is solely for Tubi and directly to Tubi, based on the data and audience information we have there.<\/p>\n<p>Marianne, I don\u2019t know if you want to jump in on the ad sales side\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Marianne\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 I mean, we are looking at Tubi as the perfect broadcast extension to our FOX linear products.\u00a0 It extends audience to younger, more diverse audiences, obviously like TV viewers.\u00a0 So, while I don\u2019t have exact percentages for you, Brian, it\u2019s a big focus of ours to match the growth of the audience in this space, and I think the shift that we\u2019re going to see of dollars to support AVoD, given the comfort [ph] that people have gotten and the great results they\u2019re seeing on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>We do expect it to be a big part of how we go to market.\u00a0 It\u2019s a perfect extension for what we sell.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019d say similar to that, we see, so often, where we\u2019re promoting something on the network for its network premieres, the like-minded shows and the similar series back seasons start to perform even better on Tubi.\u00a0 So, it\u2019s pretty remarkable how easily the viewers adapt to going broad with us, and then going deep with Tubi.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We will go next to the line of Tony Maglio from the

about THE MASKED DANCER<em>.\u00a0 <\/em>I didn\u2019t see it anywhere.\u00a0 Normally I would expect to see will wait until midseason, so this makes me wonder what we\u2019re doing with it.\u00a0 Is it summer?\u00a0 Is it something that you just want to plug in where you need it?\u00a0 What are your thoughts?\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to get ahead of myself and assume that you have a spot for it.<\/p>\n<p>Rob\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 So, obviously, we\u2019re really happy with THE MASKED DANCER<em>.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0Thought it was a great show.\u00a0 Currently, we are just figuring out where it fits into our \u201cMasked\u201d strategy.\u00a0 As you saw, we\u2019ve announced the singer for the fall, and really we\u2019re just looking to see where and when that will play best at the moment.\u00a0 MASKED DANCER<em>, <\/em>as well, we filmed kind of right in the middle of the pandemic.\u00a0 It was in October time, and we took a lot of lessons from it.<\/p>\n<p>We have some really nice ideas should there be a Season Two, and we\u2019re figuring out when and where that might be.<\/p>\n<p>Jean\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re ready for the next question.\u00a0 Alan, can you hear us?<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My apologies.\u00a0 That\u2019ll be from the line of Eric Deggans with <em>National Public Radio<\/em>. \u00a0Go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Eric\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks so much for doing this, even through all the technical difficulty.\u00a0 Even now, as upfront week is beginning, it\u2019s being overshadowed a little bit by this news about the AT&amp;T and Discovery deal that seems to be centered on streaming. \u00a0And it just strikes me that you guys at FOX almost seem to be the antithesis of what the media industry is focused on, which is big streaming companies, like Netflix and Disney, and a turn away from broadcasting.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you guys make the argument to the industry and to the public that a network like FOX is still relevant, and the smaller scale stuff that you\u2019re doing since the sale of assets to Disney is the future of television, from your perspective?\u00a0 How do you make that case?<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, first of all, thanks for the question.\u00a0 Good to hear from you.\u00a0 I should lead by saying we\u2019re in this space deliberately, and it\u2019s been a strategic choice, if you think about, you mentioned the big guys.\u00a0 It\u2019s been well-documented.\u00a0 I think [indiscernible] said it recently on one of his conference calls, that it was seeing that Disney, the combination of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> assets with Disney would allow them to compete in this space, and would allow us to construct a more nimble and focused company.\u00a0 And the choice was to focus on free and ad-supported.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I\u2019ll say it in the context, because today\u2019s upfront day, in the context of broadcasting, we\u2019re going to be the number one network on the key demo for the second year in a row.\u00a0 It happened quickly, and I believe because we were focused on.\u00a0 And then, obviously, Tubi, as ad-supported, free streaming service, puts (audio dropped here) space, but again, focused on what makes us special, which is free and ad-supported.<\/p>\n<p>And so, you look at what we do best, I talk about the strategy a lot, which is the best of live sports, next to the best of entertainment, and we think we can have both cultural [indiscernible] live events, and pierce popular culture with our original programming in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n<p>I also will point out that a phrase we\u2019re fond of is that you can\u2019t corner the market on creativity.\u00a0 And if you look at the incredible creative minds that we\u2019re working with on both sides of the camera, if you look at who\u2019s attracted to our platforms as the place to bring their passion projects, obviously we\u2019ve brought Lee Daniels back to the network.\u00a0 We have Dan Harmon joining with his next animated series.\u00a0 We feel like we are a place where everyone knows we\u2019re focused on elevating their work, not in bulk, but doing fewer things better, and combining, is pretty great to have a startup mentality and the Super Bowl and World Series.\u00a0 That\u2019s been our strength, and it\u2019s going to continue to be.<\/p>\n<p>And now with Tubi, I think we\u2019re powered for both breadth and network leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ll go next to Mike Hughes with <em>TV America.\u00a0 <\/em>Go ahead, please.<\/p>\n<p>Mike\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Charlie, this is a much smaller scale question here.\u00a0 So far, you\u2019ve been going with 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 LONE STAR together on Mondays.\u00a0 Now, you don\u2019t say it specifically, but I\u2019m kind of guessing that you\u2019re going to have 9-1-1 on Mondays, and then after that you\u2019re going to have 9-1-1 LONE STAR later on in the year in the same time slot, so you can springboard other shows after it.<\/p>\n<p>But kind of talk a little bit about that.\u00a0 First of all, would you plan on running 9-1-1 all the way through, and then go to LONE STAR<em>, <\/em>or would you stop for a while and go?\u00a0 And second of all, why do you like this approach better, to make the 9:00 open for new shows?<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ll start, and then to my left on your radio dial is Dan Harrison, and he can add to it, because we obviously place a lot of emphasis on our schedule.<\/p>\n<p>To start with, we think the Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear shows are two of the most exciting broadcast offerings out there, and they are powerful together and apart.\u00a0 This year\u2019s schedule, we get the best of both of those.\u00a0 One of the things you mentioned, and it\u2019s an insightful question, is that we are eliminating what we sometimes refer to as the bridge, but basically, you\u2019re right.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to run right from 9-1-1 into 9-1-1: LONE STAR, and we\u2019ll take advantage of, obviously, in the fall, the World Series, and in the, as we get into the football season, the NFL and then the NFL playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>So, there are just amazing opportunities to keep the 9-1-1 franchise vibrant throughout the year with far fewer weeks without originals in them.<\/p>\n<p>Dan, you want to go from there?<\/p>\n<p>Dan\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Thank you, Charlie.\u00a0 We build nights, and having a night where we can launch new drama assets that will be with us for hopefully seasons to come was an important priority when we constructed the fall schedule.\u00a0 Monday night is a night of drama; Tuesday, drama; Wednesday, reality.\u00a0 We have our Sunday animation franchise, but creating room to hopefully produce a long-running asset for the network with a BIG LEAP in the fall, meant that we needed to find a place for LONE STAR<em>.\u00a0 <\/em>And we only have 18 episodes of both series.\u00a0 So, we thought that we had constructed a clever way to both maximize the power of the 9-1-1 franchise, and create new assets that would be with us.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ll go next to the line of Adam Buckman with

much.\u00a0 I appreciate this very much, but my question was asked by a previous questioner, and it has been answered adequately.\u00a0 So, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well then, let me ask you a

STAR, I did want to ask if this will limit the potential to do another crossover episode, because having them back-to-back [indiscernible] this time around.\u00a0 Do you have any ideas on that and what you might give Tim the ability to do since they won\u2019t be airing back-to-back?<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a great question.\u00a0 This is Charlie, and then I\u2019ll turn it over to Michael.\u00a0 But like I said, in this schedule, which, obviously, we don\u2019t just look at the fall, but we look all the way through the season, we, as Dan said, are taking advantage of using the 8:00 slot to really lead 9-1-1 into 9-1-1: LONE STAR, and then after football season, they\u2019ll be back-to-back again from 8:00 to 10:00 on Mondays.<\/p>\n<p>Michael, you want to add to the question?<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You know our bag of tricks.\u00a0 While we\u2019re using those to launch new shows, as Charlie and Dan said, it will still be almost half of the schedule will be paired in a really powerful block in the second half, which, as Charlie said, it\u2019s a win-win.\u00a0 But somewhere as we\u2019re bringing the show back, keep an eye out for\u2014spoiler alert, keep an eye out for a crossover in the back half of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019ll be about disaster of a phone call, where it drops off in the middle of an upfront phone call.\u00a0 You\u2019ll love it.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ll go next to the line of Carissa Pavlica with <em>TV

paired together?<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [Audio muffled].\u00a0 It\u2019s

that, along with Yaya DaCosta.\u00a0 We think it\u2019s going to be an incredible cast from incredible creators with Karin [Gist] and Lee [Daniels].<\/p>\n<p>And to your point about having Morris in both shows, schedules permitting, we do hope to keep Morris\u2019 character in THE RESIDENT.\u00a0 His storyline is terrific.\u00a0 THE RESIDENT is a big broad show for us.\u00a0 We\u2019re really proud of it, and we think it\u2019s a great pairing with OUR KIND OF PEOPLE in the fall, and our country music drama MONARCH in
